How Shanklin compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Shanklin. It is one of 45 Hampshire towns we track, and it ranks joint 4th of 45 for solar yield, a town of 9,083 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 1,138 kWh per kWp a year, 3.12 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £1,003 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £756 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to Shanklin's own yield, and at Shanklin's 1,138 kWh per kWp it prices a 12 panel system at £6,360 installed before any battery. Your free design call reworks every number for your actual roof, its shading and your usage.
Isle of Wight is the planning authority covering Shanklin, which the House of Commons Library classes as a small town.
The charger is in the installed price but left out of payback: charging savings depend on your mileage and tariff, which the design call models properly.
